Business Development Managers and Directors

CloudCrowd is hiring in Business Development 

Imagine for a moment what it would have been like to be put in charge of BD for China's manufacturing companies, 20 years ago. Armed with an unstoppable labor cost advantage, you would have been able to drive deals across hundreds of different industries as you figured out how to convert existing business models to a more streamlined, effective, and speedy way of doing business. That's where we are in the crowdsourcing business: at the beginning of a long period of upheaval and opportunity.

We're seeking managers and directors who want to drive huge deals and who like disrupting the status quo. We're looking for lateral thinkers who can look at something and reinvent it with news tools. 

Our target space ranges from the world of Editing and Translation to Content Creation to Business Services.
